Long Text Wrapping

local textLabel = script.Parent
-- This text wrapping demo is best shown on a 200x50 px rectangle
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
-- Some content to spell out
local content = "Here's a long string of words that will " ..
"eventually exceed the UI element's width " ..
"and form line breaks. Useful for paragraphs " ..
"that are really long."
-- A function that will spell text out two characters at a time
local function spellTheText()
-- Iterate from 1 to the length of our content
for i = 1, content:len() do
-- Get a substring of our content: 1 to i
textLabel.Text = content:sub(1, i)
-- Color the text if it doesn't fit in our box
if textLabel.TextFits then
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0, 0) -- Black
else
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0, 0) -- Red
end
-- Wait a brief moment on even lengths
if i % 2 == 0 then wait() end
end
end

-- Note: Text turns red (TextFits = false) once text has to be
-- scaled down in order to fit within the UI element.
textLabel.TextScaled = true
-- Note: TextWrapped is enabled implicitly when TextScaled = true
